Ecclestein's wasn't very consistent, but it had the benefit of giving the Doctor some legitimate character growth which you rarely get elsewhere.
Plus at least it's got Dalek and an Empty Child. Even Father's Day was okay -- maybe not as an interesting story, but from an emotional standpoint.

What is considered the best point to stop watching Nu-Who? I stopped after they introduced Bill and Nardole (and after I saw the famous "history's a whitewash" line posted somewhere).
I never had any desire to watch any after Capaldi left, so I guess I'm ultimately just asking if the one season with Bill and Nardole is still worth watching.

Doctor Who needs to be studied for how quickly it incenerated all its goodwill. The show went from being this little British show with a massive online following to absolute irrelevance in about five years. Even Star Wars took seven years to become a non-brand.

Star Wars
Star Trek
Game of Thrones (though I hear the newer shows are clawing their way back to quality)
Terminator
Marvel
Lord of the Rings (referring to Rings of Power, but it could also be said to apply to The Hobbit trilogy)
The Matrix, first with the rest of the trilogy, then with the newest abortion
Joker (despite there are only 2 movies)
Jurassic Park
AND Jurassic World (I thought it sucked but it had loads of fans who dwindled with each new one)
I'd bet James Bond is on the chopping block
Unironically, someone could make a really interesting book about these cases and when and how they fell apart and lost everyone's respect and I'd read it.
Fuck it, I might go make a thread about this, seems interesting to discuss.

This is where I have to come out as a pleb, because I watched barely any classic who (Pertwee's last story and Baker's first season) and it was just too dry, despite Baker being great).
People say that about Star Trek, but I love Trek, but those Who episodes (besides Genesis of the Daleks) are extremely dry and drawn out imo.
